In this paper, we envision future sensor networks to be operating as information-gathering networks in large-scale Internet-of-Things applications such as smart cities, which serve multiple users with diverse quality-of-information (QoI) requirements on the data delivered by the network. To learn data delivery paths that dynamically adapt to changing user requirements in this information-centric sensor network (ICSN) environment, we make use of cognitive nodes that implement both learning and reasoning in the network. In this paper, we focus on the learning strategies and propose two techniques, namely learning data delivery A* (LDDA*) and cumulative-heuristic accelerated learning (CHAL) that use heuristics to improve the success rate of data delivered to the sink in the cognitive ICSN. While LDDA* updates a single heuristic function to choose paths that can deliver data with good QoI to the sink, CHAL accumulates heuristic values from multiple observations from the environment to choose data delivery paths that are more resource aware and considerate toward the energy consumption of the network. Extensive simulations have shown improvement of about 40% in the average rate of successful data delivery to the sink with the use of heuristic learning, when compared with a network that did not implement any learning.

Information-centric sensor networks for cognitive IoT: an overview Al-Turjman, Fadi M. (2017-02-01) Information-centric sensor networks (ICSNs) are a paradigm of wireless sensor networks that focus on delivering information from the network based on user requirements, rather than serving as a point-to-point data communication network. Introducing learning in such networks can help to dynamically identify good data delivery paths by correlating past actions and results, make intelligent adaptations to improve the network lifetime, and also improve the quality of information delivered by the network to the ...
Network density estimators and density-aware wireless networks Eroğlu, Alperen; Onur, Ertan; Department of Computer Engineering (2020-11) New network architectures and communication technologies continue to emerge to meet rapidly increasing and changing user demands requiring continuous connectivity and high data rate transmissions. These ubiquitous infrastructures result in a paradigm shift in mobile communications with the advent of mobile robots equipped with sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles, and mobile small-cells, which makes the future networks highly dynamic. This dynamism poses unpredictable variations in the network density causing ...
Mobile traffic modelling for wireless multimedia sensor networks in IoT Al-Turjman, Fadi; Radwan, Ayman; Mumtaz, Shahid; Rodriguez, Jonathan (2017-11-01) Wireless sensor networks suffer from some limitations such as energy constraints and the cooperative demands essential to perform multi-hop geographic routing for real-time applications. Quality of Service (QoS) depends to a great extent on offering participating nodes an incentive for collaborating. In this paper, we present a novel traffic model for a new-generation of sensor networks that supports a wide range of communication-intensive real-time multimedia applications. The model is used to investigate ...
Network-wide energy efficiency in wireless networks with multiple access points Ozel, Omur; Uysal, Elif (2013-10-01) This paper presents a distributed mechanism for improving the overall energy efficiency of a wireless network where users can control their uplink transmit power targeted to the multiple access points in the network. This mechanism lets the network achieve a trade-off between energy efficiency and spectral efficiency through the use of suitably designed utility functions. A user's utility is a function of throughput and average transmission power. Throughput is assumed to be a sigmoidal function of signal-t...
Multimedia communication in wireless sensor networks Gurses, E; Akan, OB (2005-07-01) The technological advances in Micro ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) and wireless communications have enabled the realization of wireless sensor networks (WSN) comprised of large number of low-cost, low-power multifunctional sensor nodes. These tiny sensor nodes communicate in short distances and collaboratively work toward fulfilling the application specific objectives of WSN. However, realization of wide range of envisioned WSN applications necessitates effective communication protocols which can address ...
